What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

For roughly an hour you are immersed in a VR recreation of an old house at night: light is scarce, candles flicker, and what you first take for tricks of shadow may be evidence that you are trapped. The flow of the session is an interrogation of the space—search, puzzle and escape—set against a deliberately unsettling tone.
